Why Screen Stops Working After Water Damage?
When water enters a phone, it affects display connectors, backlight circuit, and motherboard lines.
Common Technical Reasons
Water inside display connector
Backlight IC damage
Touch IC short circuit
Display flex corrosion
Motherboard short due to moisture
Even if the phone turns ON, the screen may stay black or touch may not respond.
Symptoms of Water Damaged Screen
You may notice:
Screen completely black
Touch not responding
Lines or flickering on display
Display ON but no touch
Screen works sometimes, sometimes not
These symptoms usually get worse if ignored.

If your phone fell in water:
β Switch OFF the phone immediately
β Remove SIM tray
β Dry the phone externally with cloth
